Parts of this image have been floating around for a month or so, but the full thing leaked this week:

Spoiler

He apparently doesn't have a huge role in BP2, little more than a cameo, but the rumor is it's to reveal he's the one pulling the strings behind the main conflict in the movie. Obviously he's going to be the big bad going forward.

 

[Jennings]

Looks like a boring metallic elf villain. Is he wearing Diablo armor, with gem sockets and all?

 

[Star-Lord]

Not a very clear picture, but that looks like someone attempting to cosplay (poorly) Doom from the 00s Fantastic Four films.

It's concept art not a photo.

 

[Star-Lord]

Still looks like Dr Doom.

 

[Surf Ninja]

Oh fuck yes

 

[Lunarorbit]

Just finished the newer secret wars with doom. He's the only reason I ever read ff4.

 

[AJUMP23]

What has Dr Doom ever done that is interesting?

 

[chromhound]

There's a Fantastic 4 movie coming in 2023/2024 no ?

 

[ManaByte]

What has Dr Doom ever done that is interesting?

 

[Star-Lord]

I've not read any of the Fantastic Four comics, and only vaguely remember any details from the awful films, but how did Doom - a guy who got beat by a walking rock and an elastic man - literally turn Thanos into dust?

 

[AJUMP23]

Murdering Thanos because he doesn't have the infinity stones doesn't seem that cool. This is a panel to establish how tough their guy is. He one punched Thanos. He is so tough.

I'm sure whatever they do with Doom will be fine. I just never thought he was that intimidating.

 

[Surf Ninja]

What has Dr Doom ever done that is interesting?

Uh, he made the Fantastic Four time travel to capture Blackbeard's gold, what more do you need?

 

[ManaByte]

He's apparently only in the credits scene so don't get too hyped. But the implication is that he's been pulling strings for a long time and was behind both Klau and Sonny Birch in Ant-Man 2. Doom wants Vibranium and the Quantum Realm for something.

 

[strange headache]

so don't get too hyped

Don't worry, the chances of that happening are slim to none.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

dr doom

Was a Nighmare in Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Was a broken character with a shitty combos.

 

[Lady Jane]

They have a lot of work to do to sell me on Dr. Doom being a Thanos tier villain after Fantastic Four made a washed version of him...twice.

That is cool

With these new big bads being introduced, the question of what they were doing during Thanos' stone hunt and if they got blipped will arise but probably ignored, making the Infinity Saga less and less special in the grand scheme of MCU things I fear.

Yeah but what else can they do? They can't reference Thanos forever. I think the Infinity Saga will always be the most special time in the MCU so I wouldn't worry about it being forgotten. I'll be surprised if they hit that level of relevance again.

 

[GymWolf]

Is this one powerfull enough to not be ridiculized by the redhead chick like little thany was?!

 

[Ulysses 31]

True but MCU blip lasted 5 years while it was very short in the comics. They could've gone into what happened during that time and create some original story threads to expand upon in later MCU phases.

Now the infinity stones get turned paper weights, Thanos is a theme in an Asgard ice cream shop(a bit weird since Thanos killed so many Asgardians, I doubt any Jews would open an ice cream shop with an Auschwitz theme).

They literally introduced Mutants today.

They're revealing F4 at D23 Expo.

Those are Marvel's flagship franchises. Their time of needing B-list characters to carry the MCU is over.

The last few movies made Fantastic 4 B list.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

The last few movies made Fantastic 4 B list.

Yeah, they were pretty bad. Although, to be fair, I never saw them as interesting super hero characters to begin with... Always thought that having an very elastic body was a pretty lame super power. Let's see how Disney / Marvel will handle them in the future. Hoping for the best, of course.

F4 to Marvel is a bigger deal to get right for Marvel than the first Avengers. It was Stan Lee's first Marvel creation and the movie has their highest priority over anything else.

Rock, Fire, Stretchiness and invisibility, the 4 elements.

They wanted to get Star Wars right too. Although I will say with the track record, marvel has a better chance to get it right.

What the hell does Marvel have to do with Star Wars? Feige had nothing to do with the Sequel Trilogy.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

For once we're getting a good character and people are still shitting on him? lol.

 

[Woody Nvincible]

As long as this all leads to us finally getting a Thunderbolts film!

They already announced that.

Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts’ Movie Enlists Director Jake Schreier

'Black Widow' writer Eric Pearson is penning the script.

Despite what people claim who don't actually watch Marvel stuff say, Phase 4 has been building to that: Zemo, Bucky, Yelena, US Agent, Abomination so far.

They are all owned by DISNEY!

But that's stupid. It's like blaming the Walt Disney Animation Studios who made Moana or Encanto for Pixar's movies being shit.

Or it's like blaming Insomniac for Abby killing Joel in TLOU2, because hey they're both owned by Sony.

Keep it up and I will be blaming you.

Disney Cooperate has been ruining lot of stuff recently.

 

[chromhound]

who's the main character for this movie ?

 

[ManaByte]

who's the main character for this movie ?

Spoiler

Shuri is the new BP, M'Baku is the new King of Wakanda. Shuri and Iron Heart are the main characters, Namor and Lake Bell's character (who is working for Doom) are the villains.

i don't know why but i have zero interest in this film...

 

[SJRB]

This entire Marvel phase is such a wet fart.

Profoundly boring.

 

[FunkMiller]

The MCU is so damn unfocused with all its different plot strands that the only real reaction to any of this these days is

It seems like they let woke folks work on the movies lol

God emperor doom. It's a huge thing in the comics. Great storyline

For those unfamiliar(like me), how did he become a god?

Here is a link to a YouTube video that should help some.



Be warned, it might have a few spoilers for upcoming stuff. With all the stuff in doctor strange I can't believe i missed this.

Everyone complaining that there's no big bad after Thanos, and Marvel's like:

Doctor Strange 2 just introduced the Incursions.

Yep, the big players are all due to be introduced as well. It should actually work out well.

Guess secret wars will just be a "thing" in the background and not as big as people thought. Closer to Civil War than something else

Nah I can see it as the end of this multiversal saga with God Doom as the big bad to defeat.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I can see Secret Wars having multiple villains like Kang, Doom, Red Skull, The Mandarin, etc

All having control of their own territory in Battleworld
